I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 283 The city is broken and captured alive (Go to subscribe)
"Lord Guerrilla, the pontoon bridge has been built!"

Under the fierce cover of the Krupp artillery of the Zhejiang camp, Jianlu was almost trapped in the mud and was unable to interfere with He Xiong and others.

The Ming army used the pontoon bridge that Jianlu had not demolished before as a basis, took out the driftwood that had been prepared and quickly built it.

He Xiong looked at the built pontoon bridge with joy on his face.

He has never fought like this before. Although the Ming army was equipped with firearms in the past, and the proportion of equipment was not low, their power and quality were poor, and their destructive power on the city walls was much less. Now they have the Krug Cannon, which is so overwhelming. Sexual weapons are simply incomparable.

"That's it, don't be entangled anymore, make a quick decision, cross the bridge and prepare to seize the fort!"

Seeing that the Zhejiang camp was in the limelight, He Xiong and Qin Minping did not want to hold them back. Seeing that the pontoon bridge had been built, they let the soldiers on the south bank who had been prepared to cross the river.

At this moment, the soldiers behind He Xiong suddenly heard continuous cheers. He looked forward intently and saw that under the repeated attacks of the Krug artillery, the wall on the left side of the Puhesuo city gate collapsed in an instant.

This section of the city wall was originally close to the pontoon bridge. Just now, Jianlu relied on this to delay the Ming army's construction of the pontoon bridge!Unexpectedly, under several attacks by the Ming army, it finally collapsed and disintegrated. As a result, there were two collapses in the city wall in Puhe.

He Xiong and Qin Minping took a look and realized that it was really a God-given opportunity!Isn't now the right time to rush forward? He immediately pulled out his long knife while shouting for kill, turned around and shouted to the servants who were already prepared:

"Seize the city now, kill me!"

After saying that, He Xiong immediately rushed forward and rushed to the forefront, crossing the pontoon bridge to kill at the collapse of the city wall. The so-called general is the courage of a soldier. Seeing He Xiong's bravery, Qin Bangping and his family members were so morale that they could not stand down after seeing this. , there is no need to prepare any ladder, just follow He Xiong and rush towards the cave entrance.

"The Ming army is coming!"

When the armored soldiers on the wall of Puhesuo saw the Ming army passing by the pontoon bridge and surging over like a tide, they immediately screamed and shouted into Puhesuo.

Now Puhesuo has long been in chaos. Soldiers who were seriously injured by shelling in the city are still digging for treatment. Wails and calls for help can be heard from under the recently collapsed city wall.

"Quick, quick, don't worry about the wounded, the Ming army is about to rush over, block the gap for me! Quick!"

Xitai was still in shock and looked ugly.Just a second ago, he was commanding the soldiers to draw bows and shoot arrows on the city wall. If his subordinate Zhang Jing hadn't forcibly pulled him off the city wall, he would probably be buried inside now, but now he doesn't care about that much, his mind is full. What he was thinking about was how to stop the Ming army, which was like a scourge.

The military discipline of Jianlu was strict, especially the Eight Banners, a military-civilian integration system. The hierarchy between officials at all levels and the banner owners was extremely strict. The benefits of this strict hierarchy are now reflected, although at this time, Puhesuo was still in chaos. It was chaotic, but under Jia La'e Zhen Xitai's greeting, more than [-] people heard the words and picked up weapons and quickly rushed towards the collapse of the city wall.

He Xiong led a group of servants and soldiers forward, holding a shield as a cover. At this time, he had already rushed to the collapse.The rubble of the collapsed city wall was piled together like a steep slope, giving them a chance to kill them.

"whoosh"

Scattered arrows shot down from the walls on both sides of the collapse, making a clanging sound and a strong shock on He Xiong's shield.

The deputy general behind him waved his hand when he saw this, and the archers behind him raised their bows and shot towards the city wall, hoping to suppress the scattered Jianlu soldiers on the city wall.

At this time, the advantage of numbers was reflected. Although the armored men on the city wall were covered by the city wall, they could not withstand the vast number of Ming soldiers.

Most of the arrowheads hit the city wall with a clanking sound, but a few arrows still shot through the crenellations towards the armored men who were squatting in defense.

An armored man who was still shooting arrows was about to draw his bow and shoot at the city. He was carefully taking aim when he saw an arrow flying from under the city wall and piercing his left eyeball. His body instantly He froze, his body leaned forward, and he dropped the bow and arrow in his hand.

"whoosh" "whoosh" "whoosh"...

More and more Ming troops crossed the pontoon bridge, and the rain of arrows fired at the city wall became more dense like black clouds pressing down on the city. After a while, the armored men were suppressed.

With the cover behind him, He Xiong must have easily charged in. Now he has rushed up the hill, and he can clearly see the tragic scene in Puhesuo, as well as the armored men who also rushed up to stop them.

The five Baya soldiers at the front were horrified when they saw a burly Ming soldier wearing armor who had climbed up the hill. They immediately rushed towards He Xiong at high speed.

"kill!"

Upon seeing this, He Xiong struck preemptively, holding a shield in his left hand as cover and a knife in his right hand. The servants and soldiers immediately rushed towards them to seize the opportunity.

So between the lightning and flint, the two groups of people fought together on the hillside.

He Xiong swung his broadsword forward and hit the shield of a Baya soldier in front of him heavily. Just as he was about to withdraw his sword, a Baya soldier in the front left glanced at the opportunity. Seeing the situation, he swung his long sword back. The spear struck him in the face.

Upon seeing this, He Xiong turned his shield with his left hand and immediately stood on the ground. With a "bang", there was a crashing sound from the shield.

The servants from behind also arrived at this moment. The two servants aimed their swords at Ba Ya La Bing who was stabbing the spear. The blade went deep into his cheek and blood flowed down the blade. This gave He Xiong a chance to breathe.

"Put your shield forward and kill!"

He Xiong retracted his long sword, raised his shield and moved forward. He was squeezed together with the Baya soldiers on the opposite side, making it difficult to relax. This situation was most likely to occur when fighting at a narrow intersection.But He Xiong was not worried at all, because the Ming army was far more numerous than the Jianlu soldiers. Their task was to drag these people here and wait for the soldiers behind to catch up.

The soldiers of both sides were locked in close combat. The two sides were in a stalemate, looking at the faces of the opposite sides fiercely.

He Xiong looked at the Baya soldier in front of him. He seemed to have just passed his thirties. There were three scars on his dark and rough skin. There was also a fierce look in his eyes. He was looking at He Xiong with bared teeth.

"Push forward!"

As more and more Ming troops came up from behind, under He Xiong's slogan, the Ming troops pushed forward with all their strength, hoping to disperse the Jianlu soldiers on the opposite side.

Xitai stood at the back, looking at the Ming army that kept pouring in from the cave, and his heart was already cold. No matter how powerful the Jianlu soldiers were, they couldn't kill so many people!
What's more, they are not the elite of the Eight Banners, and they will be destroyed in an instant if they are broken through.

"Sir, why don't you leave? It's still too late to leave now."

The two Bagala guards behind him saw that the situation was not right and immediately began to suggest that Xitai retreat.Xitai smiled bitterly when he heard this, where to evacuate?These two Niu Lu are his family assets, many of them are his clansmen, and they will never be able to stand up after being beaten down.

"Why retreat? Yue Tuo Beile has been waiting for me. Now is the time to repay the kindness." Upon hearing this, Xitai immediately pulled out his long sword and said firmly and viciously.

He knew there was no way out, and he didn't want to live. He might as well die in battle, which would more or less live up to his family's reputation as a hero.The Bajala guards behind them looked at each other, their eyes showing anxiety and helplessness.

But one person's courage can't change the situation. As the number of Ming troops increased, they kept squeezing the Jianlu down the slope, taking the opportunity to kill them, and finally brought the Jianlu to the verge of collapse.

The Baya soldier directly opposite He Xiong was panting and gradually retreated during the repeated charges of the Ming army. Looking at He Xiong, his eyes became more and more unconfident and frightened. Suddenly he stumbled and accidentally touched him. The gravel behind fell backwards.

Seeing this, He Xiong and others saw the opportunity, stood up and kicked towards his chest, directly kicking the Baya soldier several times and rolling him to the ground, instantly opening a hole in Jianlu's line.

At the same time, the Ming army was already unstoppable and marched forward. The weak edges of the Jianlu formation were finally overwhelmed and were swallowed up by the Ming army like a raging tide.

Retreating step by step, Jianlu, whose morale had already plummeted, retreated one after another when he saw this, not wanting to be made dumplings by the Ming army, but how could he have such a good opportunity now.

Seeing the shaken morale of the Jianlu soldiers, He Xiong found the right opportunity to rush into the gap in the Jianlu line. The people behind him rushed forward regardless of the others. At this time, there were still several Baya soldiers who wanted to fight like trapped beasts. The opponent was still charging forward, wanting to kill them all with one force, but before they could reach him, most of the Baya soldiers were restrained by the servants behind him and couldn't get close.

Only two Baya soldiers took the opportunity to rush in front of him, using their shields as walls, and worked together to attack him. It seemed that they wanted to trap him with their shields.Seeing this, He Xiong was not afraid at all. Instead, he used the shield as a wall, leaned the shield firmly on his shoulders, roared, and crashed towards them.

The two people on the opposite side did not expect that the Ming army on the opposite side would be so brave. They were stunned for a moment. One of them also slowed down a bit. He Xiong saw the opportunity and immediately bumped into their shields.

"Click"

The Baya soldier's footing was not stable. When he was violently hit by He Xiong's shield, he also felt a sharp pain coming from the shield. His body leaned back involuntarily and staggered back a few steps. .Before he could gain a firm footing, he felt a chill in his stomach. When he looked down, he saw a long knife thrust into his chest.

"Uh" "Uh"...

Seeing Ba Ya La Bing's mouth pouring out of blood and being unable to make a sound in pain, He Xiong didn't have time to care.When another Baya soldier saw that He Xiong actually killed his companion, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his face instantly showed a ferocious look, and with a roaring roar, he slashed at He Xiong.

But He Xiong had anticipated this, and he immediately pulled the injured Baya soldier hard and used him as a human shield.In the midst of lightning and flint, the Baya La soldier had no time to react, and the long knife in his hand slashed his companion's shoulder with inertia.

"Ahhh"

The injured Baya Labing was really in trouble, but no one would care about his life or death in a desperate situation. Seeing that the other one had fallen into the trap, He Xiong immediately drew his knife and held the handle tightly along the waist of the injured Baya Labing. He stabbed his companion behind him.

With a crash, the companion's cotton armor was immediately scratched, the blood knife was inserted into the stomach and then pulled out with great force, and the blood flowed down in a parabola.After being stabbed by such a knife, the Baya warrior lost his momentum. He couldn't use any more strength. Seeing this, He Xiong kicked him back twice. The long knife slashed out instantly, and the two fell backwards after receiving the force. go.

After He Xiong finished cleaning up the mess, he bent down tiredly and held his knees up, panting and looking at the situation around him. The scene in Puhesuo now seemed to be one-sided.

Qin Minping also led the chieftain soldiers to fight in from another cave. The morale of the captives in the city dropped sharply when they saw this. When the Han people saw this, they ran around with their hands on their heads, not daring to resist at all, shouting for mercy, and some When the armored men saw that there were so many soldiers, they knew that the situation was over, gave up resistance, turned around, threw down their weapons and ran away.

"Broken! Broken!"

"What Puhe has done is broken."

On the south bank of the Pu River, with the shouts in the city and the Ming troops filing in from two gaps, He Shixian and others knew that the situation was determined, and immediately ordered the army to attack. This time, no one of the Jianlu could be allowed to escape. He wanted to fight A big victory.

Seeing the Ming troops filing in, He Xiong didn't want to continue to tangle needlessly with these Jianlu soldiers.

His purpose was to take the lead in entering, but in order to win the first victory, he must first capture the ginseng leader in Puhe Suo.

Xitai finally realized that the situation was over. He originally wanted to die to be loyal, but the two Baya soldiers behind him were eager to protect the Lord and hugged him tightly. They did not want their leader to die, otherwise they would all No good ending.

"You go, you can save a life if you leave now."

The two retreating Zhang Jings suddenly became anxious when they saw that the counselor was unwilling to withdraw and wanted to die to prove his ambition.If Xitai doesn't leave, they will be dead even if they leave.

"Sir, the Han people have a saying that if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. This time the Ming army suddenly invaded and you were caught off guard. You have tried your best, but your skills are inferior to others. If Lord Yue Tuo wants to If you take the blame, I will take the blame first, and I will not involve you."

Then he suddenly saw the general who had been at the forefront of the Ming army rushing towards this direction. One of them, Zhang Jing, became anxious and immediately grabbed Xitai's arm and began to explain desperately.Seeing his hesitation, the other Zhang Jing became anxious. He also grabbed Xitai's arm and said to the armored men behind him.

"You contain the Ming army first, and we will lead the counselors to leave first!"

After saying that, the two of them dragged Xitai back without looking back, planning to retreat through the back door.

When He Xiong saw this, how could he throw away the meat that reached his mouth?

"Whoever follows me and captures the leader of the Jianlu tribe will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and promoted to one rank."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the servants behind He Xiong immediately turned red. They ignored the Jianlu soldiers who were chasing and killing them and stared straight at the direction in which Xitai fled.In their eyes, it was no longer a person, but a reward and official position that was about to escape.

The dozen or so people at the front reacted first upon hearing this and immediately chased in the direction of Xitai. Upon seeing this, the rest of the group also rushed to the back door first.The few armored men at the back still wanted to struggle to resist, but when faced with the servants who looked like hungry wolves, the three servants were immediately chopped down to the ground when they faced each other.

Xitai in front had not taken a few steps when he heard the Ming army behind him shouting about the reward.My heart immediately trembled, thinking to myself that I might not be able to escape this time.

Sure enough, before he had taken a few steps, he heard "swish" and "swish" sounds. Zhang Jing beside him was shot by a Ming army bow and arrow. His body moved forward in pain and fell to the ground helplessly.

But Xitai didn't want to give up yet and ran forward without daring to look back.

There was another "whoosh" sound, and his calf suddenly hurt, and he staggered to his knees.He groaned in pain, and before he could turn over and get up, a bunch of people were pressing heavily on him.

"I got it, I got it!"

　The course ends tomorrow, and I will start taking a break the day after tomorrow. I will resume normal updates and make up for the lack of updates in the first half of the month!
